Chapter 322 Eight...eight kills in a row? (85100)

Duncan looked back, and it was Ferguson who came with the Manchester United bench members.

Judging from his expression, Sir Alexis is in a good mood.

After so many years of competition, there are countless battles of life and death, so Ferguson has long learned to adjust his mentality reasonably before the big competition.

Don't look so nervous, at least on the surface.

Otherwise, all the team members will follow their own nervousness.

"I'm afraid that not many people will come to watch the game, which will make my players not excited enough." Duncan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ferguson.

"Young man, the arena of the final is not usual. Maybe many of your players can't help shaking their calves now." Ferguson grinned.

Although it is in a joking tone, it is undeniable that this is also a psychological tactic.

"Shaking legs means that he will be excited. During the competition, he will run more firmly and powerfully." Duncan had a little doubt in his eyes: "I'm just curious, do your veterans still have physical strength now?"

"You don't need to worry about this. They have experienced many battles, so naturally they are not afraid of anything." Ferguson said.

"Hopefully."

"I will win this game." Ferguson suddenly said very seriously.

"Like you did seven times?" Duncan laughed.

Ferguson snorted.

At this time, they had reached the end of the passage, and the two sides stopped talking, and walked out of the passage with Ferguson one after the other.

The outcome of the game will be known after nine or 10 minutes.

Ferguson's starting lineup is still the 433 they are good at.

The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar.

The defense line is O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

The midfield is Anderson, Giggs, Carrick.

In terms of positioning, Giggs is in front, and Anderson and Carrick form a double midfielder.

The front three are Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung and Rooney.

The positions of these three people have also been adjusted.Ronaldo, who had been active on the wing, was placed in the center position, and Rooney and Park Ji-sung were on both sides.

In Manchester City's starting lineup, the goalkeeper is Diego Lopez.

On such a big stage, Duncan still gave him a lot of trust.

As for the back line, Ashley Young, Joel Luka, Thiago Silva and Trabelsi started four.

The midfield four is a normal configuration, Pedro, Toure, Hargreaves, David Silva.

The double forwards are Shevchenko and Aguero.

Against a new opponent like Barcelona, ​​you can use a new method, because the opponent is not suitable for you, but for an old opponent like Manchester United, there is actually no secret at all. Do it the old way.

In this game, Duncan used a composite five-element formation.

Strengthen the team's overall offense and defense, and increase the team's tacit understanding.

Since Ferguson wants to use the individual abilities of the stars, Duncan relies on the overall cooperation of the team.

To be honest, there are reasons to say that Manchester United are at their peak.

Because there are not only Ronaldo in the frontcourt, double central defenders in the backcourt, but also Ferdinand and Vidic.

Such a central defender configuration is definitely the top in the world.

"As I thought, it seems that Ferguson is going to start the game." Sitting on the bench, Duncan said to Jim Cassell.

"Oh? Because Ronaldo is in the center position?" Jim Cassell said.

"No, look at the position of Giggs." Duncan pointed to Manchester United's lineup: "Normally, a big game should be defensive, so in the midfield position, Scholes is obviously more suitable than Giggs. But Giggs started instead."

"And from the point of view of the position, Giggs' position is very forward. Standing behind Ronaldo, he is going to be a shadow striker. This shows that Ferguson still wants to score goals. If he blindly defends, Then I might be a little apprehensive if I fight back. But when he wants to attack, it’s our chance.”

Duncan's analysis is detailed.

"How do you know Ferguson so well?" Jim Cassell asked.

"It's not a complicated problem," Duncan shrugged, put his hands on his chest, and threw himself into the chair: "If you are an overlord, you lose to the same opponent seven times in a row. Then when it comes to the eighth time, you are still in a On the most important stage, no matter what, you will want to beat him once."

This is not because he has an understanding of Ferguson, but to speculate on an opponent's psychology from a normal perspective.

Especially a competitive person like Ferguson.

He really wants to win, that's all.

Jim Cassell looked at Duncan, suddenly a little speechless.

Could it be that Duncan started planning when he first met Manchester United this season?

Then every victory against Manchester United is a line laid by Duncan?Then through so many victories, step by step, he pushed Ferguson into the space Duncan expected?
Looking at the confident Duncan, Jim Cassell suddenly felt that Ferguson was in a terrible situation.

There is no name in the competition, so in this game, Ferguson set the tone for the team, which is defense.

But perhaps it was the impact of seven consecutive defeats to Manchester City that made Ferguson very afraid of Duncan.

Because every time he has the chance to win, there will always be moths appearing.

So Ferguson decided to attack first, even if he didn't score, at least let Manchester City's offense not be too high.

Because Ferguson believes that a young head coach like Duncan will definitely be more cautious and will definitely focus on defense.

Unfortunately, if Duncan really thinks so, Ferguson won't lose so many games in a row.

Manchester City kicked off, but the Manchester United players did not retreat, and launched a high press at the beginning of the game.

In particular, the core of Manchester City's backcourt, Yaya Toure, was forced by the joint efforts of Giggs and Park Ji-sung.

An engineer player like Park Ji-sung, placed in such an advanced position, must be used to rob in the frontcourt.

Otherwise, placing a shovel on the artillery position is obviously a bit misplaced.

But is it really that easy?

Park Ji-sung was in front, Giggs was behind, and Carrick also advanced to help defend nearby. He was very close to Hargreaves, and his purpose was to cut off.

Not to mention Rooney and Ronaldo.

Manchester United actually formed a very tight encirclement in a short period of time.

It is aimed at Toure!
Toure didn't panic, Park Ji-sung was weak, he could come up to pester him, but under Toure's body, he was like a small sapling, unable to shake him at all.

Giggs is very experienced and very sophisticated defensively, it is not so easy to break through.

But Toure didn't want to break through Giggs at all. As a defensive midfielder, his first choice was never to excel, but to protect the ball.

So when the opponent's player came up, Toure chose to pass back with his heel.

Thiago Silva receives the ball.

One pass of the ball and Thiago Silva went up.
